If you suffer from obstructive sleep apnea but struggle with CPAP therapy due to claustrophobia or nasal congestion, an oral appliance may provide an effective alternative treatment worth considering.

As the exclusive Las Vegas provider of Prosomnus oral devices, Snoring & Sleep Solutions of Nevada likes to help you better understand how mandibular advancement therapy can address these common compliance issues and help you finally get relief from disrupted sleep.

For those with mild to moderate sleep apnea, an open and airy oral appliance often feels far less restrictive than a face mask attached to tubing and machinery. Properly fitted over just the front teeth and palate, a Prosomnus device does not enclose the face or apply pressures that exacerbate claustrophobic sensations upon waking in a panic.

Additionally, oral appliances do not rely on nasal breathing pathways as CPAP therapy does. So even if seasonal allergies or nosebleeds aggravate nasal passages, causing the CPAP to feel intensely uncomfortable, an oral device continues functioning just as effectively through the mouth alone.

Many patients report they scarcely notice the appliance once asleep. Some liken the feeling to wearing a retainer rather than a face full of equipment, allowing full range of head and neck motion undisturbed.
